In all 1 :;rincipls and svery essential feature j '. '.:.e policy proposed by the Message, ! ' . Calhoun entirely concurred. In the w. i tils to accomplish the desirable object r iitetnplated, the most conciliatory, gra !' -it, least disturbing process was sugRess i J as proper by Mr. Calhoun, His ws en these topics, and the arguments ) which they were enforced, must be 1 Jt to a revised report. We give the Miminent ideas, and the expressions, as i .tuined in our recollection, and set down Immediately on the conclusion of the ;eech. He had come to tha conclusion that it U the interests af both the banks and the Government, that the union between them .Oiould be dissolved. The banks and the 'ivtrnment are alrerdy separated, sepa t 1 by taw. Where will the advocates f a re-unlonbe foiled? Among theorpa, .ion, who but a few years af o denounced ' e scheme as dangerous and corrupting? among tht friends of the adai'.ninratiour I f course not the last. Oat remedy is the United Slates Bank; t it utterly impossible. He knows lit i u of tht husaan heart who believes it V itsibla that a Ualted States Bank could r cbartartd under present circumstances, We have already had two paralytic shocks. Let the third come, and the lo cal banking Institutions will be swept a" way. The pressure through which we have gone is nothing to that which would result from the creation of a new United States Bank. It would not come as a re farmer but as a dettreyer. The State Right party were opposed to it on the ground both of expediency and constiu tionality, and time has but sanctioned their views. Theft Is tut ane mntlo by, which the Government msy re-unite with the banks, and to thst there are a thousand nl jc (loos to adopt the Pennsylvania United Stales Bsnk. He could never consent to give It the extraordinary powers it would thereby possess. He could not consent 10 give a filitical iriumfih to the Pennsyl Tenia United Siates Dank. To adopt 1 that bank, woald be a triumph of the bank over the countrj. Bank notes are, under the best circum stances, illy calculated ta answer the pur poses of (he currency. They have ruin est expansions and contractions, which ' prostrate the best men In the twinkling ot an eye, making the country a nation of gamblers and speculators. Take a beg. gar lo the streets, give his notes the cred it ef government, sad they would super, scede all other natca. It It contrary to the genius and spirit of our institutions, 8c contrary to justice, ta give credit to a cer tain as I of men, connected with a few banka aad deny it te others. It produ ced oot only inequality among citizens, but among sections of the country. We are now in a new era. A great ' change of. ublic feeling has taken place wi;bia a few years. Banking and politics have become connected. They most be aeparated. The Government must be- . come the bank, or the bank will becosse tht Government. The etroggle will be terrible. lit wants tit backs net to peri sist in this connection. 1 he I reaury triust be recognised. But it n ust not be a Treasury tiaiix.nnr mast it swell the petrontge of the Gouernweiit. Tne " vcrneient and banks are separated in part, but not potentially. With a rkuiticn f specie payments, Ihrir connection would commence. It is preposterous and uinntirouH that the CI vernmeut should use the credit of a hank, or ua individual, while ils own ctedit is perfect. The pre sent distress is not a ose for medicine; it depends on the strength of the patient The distress of the cnmilry is debt; the cure is time. He looked for relief more to cotton, tobacco and lice, than to Gov ernment. Government should set an ex ample of indulgence. Mr. Calhoun con cluded by offering the following: Prtiotcd Amendment. On the 1st of January I8S8, three fourths of the debts to Government shall be paid in batik note; on the following January, one half; on he following, one fourth; and then aH connection with banks to cease, and only legal currency to be ret eived. Mr flpnlon proposed an itmendmcnt, having tl,e vsnie object in view as the a bove, but d Bering in the mode proposed for attaining it, TRUTH BREAKING FORTH. When ut Washington last June a year ago, we wure turprived, ns we Hla'fd in our paper a eik or so tinro, to hoar the raving of Mr. Wise, and no one pnying tiny more nttemii.r, to his inndness tlian if he hud not been there, tt all. Indeed it sucmed to be a time when the members I) nd leisure to wiilk ubout and convene. A few days nfler being in Philadelphia, we were surprised on taking up a paper, to find this very speech eulogized to the skies, by these letter writers "as n mas teily effort of the young Virginian a sec ond RuifJolpli hiwr the meniiiU of the tyrant Jickson quaked under the wt-11 di rected fire of this nolilo nnd worthy de scendant of Virginia's best blood," filling up a column of n newspaper, while the poor, duped whigs all through the country wore echoing tho nonseime. But of All the miserable pervrtrsion of (ruth, uud ' fiddle luddle" about Wise and others af scarcely greater importance, none of the letter writers got abend of 'Y. L.' in the Ohio Slate Journal. TIih 'Y. L.' writes for PAV, and wou'd for money make up as good a story on one side as on tho other. Mr. IIanimoid tukes the proper view of thin matter, and the coun try would he tHe gainer if it were follow ed: Ohi litatctman. From the Cm Gsselte. MR. WISE. Mr. Wise has acquired quite an exton- sive eclihrity in (his coun'.ry, and it may not be amiss to look a little into tho chan nels tlUough which he has obtained it. As a member of Congress, his general courso hits beon too ermtirt, to be doomed a wixe one, He has proposed several measures, in which his adversaries have gained advantuge over him none, that I recollect, in which ho has done any good. It is not for his political sagacity, for his statesman-like intelligence, lor his poweis of argument, that Mr. Wiso is distinguish ed. His strength lies in bis capacity for personal snrciiMn, and in the Theraitea like recklessness with which he scalier it around him. Fur I he extension of his re putation in these ccotiiplihiiioiUs, l.e is indebted to the- newppnpor presf, and chiefly "to those who wiile lelt.ri from Wathington. Yet of nil the swanh-butk-lor speech makers in Congress, there is no one who it more coarsely and vulgarly abusive of newt-papers and their Washing ton corraapundoivts than Mr. Wife. As nno of the editorial corps, I am persuaded Ihut Mr. Wise should not be further tole rated in this course. Let him be efli-ctu ally rebuked, by the total omission of his name, in Wellington letters and nowHpa. per publications from hunceforth, until ha mrnds his mnnners towards those who have built him up. What would Mr. Wine he, if ha were thus dealt with? One of Mr. Wiao's denunciations is to be found in the proceedings of Congress, in this morning's Guzctto. Mr. Hacket can hold his own with Mr. Wiso. He can safely say, and no doubt will any. "Vengeance is mine, Bnd 1 will repay." MAINE ELECTION. It would seem, from the subjoined let ter, received fro) a gentleman on whom great reliance may ho placed, that the fed eial party have again expended their amu niijorr In vain. A hundred guns at one place, and a thousand ut another, and fed eral salutes every whore, havo resounded the victory of the fodornlisls in Maine. If our correspondent is not mistaken, this victory is ngaiu a detest, like so many of ihn same sort heretofore gloried in by tha I'edonlMs. The probability is. there is no election by the people. Tho election in this cane devolves on the Legislature the House nominating, and the Senate choosing, the Governor. This will secure the election ol Mr. raiks, the democratic candidate. The federal parly claim an accession lo their strength of 10,000 in the popu'ar vote, as shown by this election. A com- parison of the polls will show (hat Kent, their present candidate, has just about the vote obtained by Mr. Spraguo, their for merly defeated candidate. The demo cralic vote has fallen off several thou sands, In consequence of the nonrnty ion not being satisfactory to the democracy of the several sections of the IBtata, Qhle.

Whether they will sanction the locking tip of Ihe specie change in Ihe vaulta of the Hanlc, and the substitution of the pestiferous of issues Siin Platters. These are grave questions for deci iion, and deserve the culm consideration of the whole I'eoft.'e. j If tho Pcoplo wish to decide them in fa vor of Rag Money and Shin Plasters, they , should vote for the Bank ticket.' - If, on the contrary, they wish to discountenance such doings uphold their Govvrnmont- nnd by public indignation, cause Ihe banks to render justice to their creditors, they should g vo theit support lo the Demo" critic Hank Ticket. From the Ohio Statesman. BANK FKAUD AND INIQUITY. One of the moat villainous frauds that has aa yet come ta our knowlcdb'j- has ust taken place in this city and along the National Roid, by a Guvernaient Agent Hank of Piitsburgh. That Bmk has. for a long time been ar.t iag as the Government agent, in paying off the wntkmen on the National Road and even before the lUnks suspended spe cie payment we were informed it took ev ery method to speculate in the public funds, and then changing them into a more woithltss kind to pay ofF,ihq pulic conti actors and laborers, and "pocketing the difference. Within a few days past the Agent has been here, with authority lo draw on the Franklin Bank of this city to the amount o fifteen or twenty thou ssnd de-llars, which he dfmandtd and re ceived in ietie. Instead of paying this to the workmen as the Government in tended, the B-nk Agent has pocketed the specie, or sold it, and made his payments in the most worthless trash he could pick up, oithe BunkU broker could collect for the purpose. There is no mistake in the truth of this matter, and the indignttion every where excited on liesring tho transaction is great. A few such scandalous frauds as this, and such a thing as Dank Jgenti for Government, will find no advocate in Ohie. Indeed the advocates for a con tinuance of such a system, must daily dwindle into insignificance. We predict that the tew "contcrvativet11 at Washing ton in one year will be looked upon in an other I'ght than that of trtttort and tne mie to all free governments white thou sands of honest whigs will prefer a sepa ration of the Government from all Banks, rather than the continuance of such hor rible frauds upon the people.' Such things cannot nor trust not be brooked the peo ile every where must rally to their own oeleute, every boneat principle de' mands it of them. Ta Mr. Van Daren we say emphatical ly, hold on to tha pure and righteous prin ciples of his ever memorable message. Ihe people will do justice to virtue, and to correct principles. They cannot be long deceived by their very waist enemies the Banks. . .

It will be recollected that at the time they were making such ri fuss about it last week, wo cautioned them about shouting boforo they wefo out of tho bushos, & at tho snmo time expressed pur doubt as to the tho correctness of their information. At that time we had scon noth ing to induce us to believe that their state ment, as to the result of the election, was truo,& since that time, wc have aeon much to encourage the beliof that the statement was not true. The only information that wo can -rely on is an article in the Globe of tho 20th Sept., given in another column. Our belief is thnt tho whigs havo not elec ted their Governor, but that the election jwiH devolve upon tho Legislature which is uemocriuic. Wo would take this occasion to warn pur democratic menu against tho dun- Igor of disscntions among themselves. iTho loss which we have sustained in Main, is not in fact a loss in numbers, as is shown by the fact that the vote of the Whig candidate is about tho same that Spraguo, tho Whig candidate had who was defeated in 1834. The democratic voters were dissatisfied with the candidate and did not turn out Let our friends remem ber the oft repeated truth that 44 Eternal vigilance is tho pi ice of Liberty."

Wo trust yon will -nnwer, no. We trust that already you are sufficiently convinced by tho conduct of Banks of their evils, and that instead of supporting (!irni, S they now exist, you will be content wltfe- nothing short of a radical reform. Inquire for a moment, which of the mea' before you, for whom you are a.sked to vote, nro in', fixvor of Banks. By what means are you to arrive at tho knowledge of tho truth in the case? We say, l&fca the actions of those men and judjj !,y those actions whether they aw in favor cf Banks. Take .tho facts that we staled last week that one of tha Whig candid ates for Representative attended the Leg islature last winter to procure a charier- for a Bonk in this County, and frat Kite-, other agreed to loan to the Batik of hya-; i land this County's Surplus Joncy, as it is culled. What do these facta prove? Do thoy not prove to .' demonstration, that both of theso men are tho Irieu3s of the present rotten and corrupt Banking system? Certainly they do. Whet may bo expected from Representatives ki3 friendly to Banka? May wn expect iW ! these persons will aid in inquiring intoibo frauds of the Banks punishing them aw they deserve, and refusing to create nwr of the sumo kind? No; we cannot cV 'pect it. But may wo not rather cxpst from those men, that they will assist ly. prevent all investigation, mid voto to era- ' ate more? Fes; that is the rational con clusion that will bo drawn. Fellow cili zona, is it not your duty to prevbiif a. thing of this kind Joes not the interest1 of your country demand of you" to eitert yourselves to tho utmost, to prevent . thing of this nature?
